Time 1h

Yield 8 slices, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

275 g butter
50 g flour
50 g light brown sugar
225 g caster sugar
175 g self-raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 medium free-range eggs, beaten
50 g ground almonds
2 small cooking apples, peeled, cored and cut into chunky slices
250 g blackberries (or other berries, fresh or frozen)

Steps:

  • Step 1: Heat the oven to 180ÂșC. Grease and line a 23cm spring-clip cake tin. With your fingertips, rub together 50G BUTTER with the 50G FLOUR until the mix resembles breadcrumbs. Mix in the LIGHT BROWN SUGAR and set aside in the fridge.
  • Step 2: Cream together 225G BUTTER, softened, with the CASTOR SUGAR in a mixer (or with a hand-held mixer) until pale and fluffy. Gradually add the EGGS, then fold in the SELF-RAISING FLOUR, ALMONDS and BAKING POWDER. Transfer to the prepared tin.
  • Step 3: Arrange the APPLE SLICES on top, then scatter the BLACKBERRIES over; top with crumble mixture. Bake for 50 mins, or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Leave on a wire rack for 5 mins, then turn out and serve warm with custard.
  • NOTE: Defrost and drain frozen berries well before adding to the cake.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, ensure all your ingredients are measured and ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the baking process.
  • Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest ingredients possible for the best flavor and texture. If you can, try to source organic or locally grown ingredients.
  • Proper Mixing: Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the cake while it's baking. Every oven is different, so the baking time may vary. Start checking the cake a few minutes before the recommended time to ensure it doesn't overcook.
  • Cooling: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or serving. This will help the cake set properly and prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

With its moist and fluffy texture, sweet and tangy flavor, and beautiful presentation, the apple blackberry cake is a delightful treat perfect for any occasion. Whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting out, this recipe provides clear instructions and helpful tips to guide you through the process. Remember to use fresh ingredients, mix the batter carefully, and bake the cake until it reaches the perfect golden brown color.
